Some information about this cluster can be found at here.
The cluster has been updated: it is now a cluster with 16 nodes each with 2 GPUs for a total of 32 GPUs (gtx480s). These cards have 1.5 GB of memory and deliver for dslash about 50GFlops/s in double precision and 125 GFlops/s in single precision (see Ben's Performance benchmarks).
The interconnects are still 4x DDR infiniband which provides 5Gb/s x 4lanes = 20Gb/s (signaling) which due to 8/10 encoding translates to a 16Gb/s=2GB/s in each direction (for more Infinband details consult wikipedia page).
